unFORTUNEate Person of the Day 1/4/10



Atlanta-based producer and songwriter Shawty Redd born Demetrius Stewart is best known for being Young Jeezy's go-to producer throughout the last three albums, as well as the writer and producer for Snoop Dogg's "Sexual Eruption", is awaiting arraignment in an Atlanta jail on murder suspicion. On January 1, 2010, Redd had company at his Georgia home today. The guests were associates of the producer, but verbal and physical threats ensued. The threatening party was subsequently shot and killed.

At approximately 5:30 pm EST, police reached the scene. Arrests, including Shawty Redd, were made. Shawty Redd has still not formally been accused of murder. That decision will be made after a meeting with his attorney and the Henry County District Attorney. During Redd's court appearance, Judge Brown explained the charges to the producer and held him on bond.

While Shawty Redd was entitled to have been represented by a court appointed attorney for his bond hearing, he decided that since his own attorney was not in town at the moment, he wanted his case postponed for another date. As a result, Magistrate Judge Brown rescheduled his bond hearing for January 12 in which case he must remain in custody until the hearing.

Talent in the hip-hop community suffers due to violence in the everyday lives of these artists. Whether it be jealousy, greed, or envy, we in the hip hop community suffer from genius talent being incarcerated due to violence. We wish the best of luck to Shawty Redd, and his friends and family, and though the story is untold we salute another hip-hop protege that stands victim to the justice system.
